T0 (2% whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, FRANCIS ROBERT BAKER, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Arcade Chambers, Snow Hill, Birmingham, England, engineer, have invented Improvements in Extinguishers for Hydrocarbon and other Lamps, (for which I have applied for Letters Patent in Great Britain, dated September 2st, 1886, and numbered 12,180,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention has relation to extinguishers for lamps; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of devices, as hereinafter described, and specifically claimed.

Figure 1 represents in side elevation, partly in vertical section, a lamp-burner provided with extinguishing mechanism constructed ac cording to myiniention. (Extinguishershown out of use.) Fig. 2 represents in elevation the same with the extinguisher in use or with the half extinguisher-boxes closed upon the flame and burning part of the wick for extinguishing. Fig. is a vertical section of the extinguisher as in Fig. 2. Fig. et is a side elevation of the extiuguisherwith the upper portion of the lamp-burner removed. Fig. 5 is a plan of Fig. l.

u. is the body part of the burner, and b the cone with flame-slit, said parts being of ordinary construction.

c c are extinguisher half-boxes,plaeed at the upper extremities of cranked or bent springarms (Z d, and having connected therewith pushers or pusherarms e e, by which means the arms (I, which proceed upward from the base of the body of the lamp, are closed for extinguishing the flame.

and attached together by soldering or other v wise. The pusher-arms c 0 pass through holes a in the burner-body. A

To extinguish a lamp, press the pusher-arms e c in opposite directions by the thumb and finger, when the extinguisher halt' boxes c c are brought together and closed upon the end of the wick-tube and wick, thereby extilr guishing the flame of the lamp. After ex tinguishing the flame the pusher-arms c c are liberated, and the extinguisher halfboxes c and arms (I, with pushers c, automatically open out. as shown at Fig. 1.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination, with a lampburner, of an extinguisher consisting of two sections, each comprising a haltloox extinguisher, 0, springarm (Z, and hand-piece 0, made integral or in one piece, substantially as described.

Signed this 4th day of November, 1886.
